You´re fluent in object oriented programming. But now and again you´re wondering what the fuzz about component orientation is? There is supposed to be more to it than just using 3rd party controls in your user interfaces. But, what and how? Component...
My previous posting on Software Transactional Memory (STM) I concluded with the remark, NSTM was not finished. How true! Here is the next release of NSTM with a couple of improvements. You can download it from Google´s project hosting site . Here´s what...
The API for my .NET Software Transactional Memory (NSTM) I´ve described so far is straightforward, I´d say. It´s close to what you´re used to from transactional dabase access and it´s even integrated with System.Transactions : open a transaction, do some...
